A tweet
from Marcus Sellars offers an unconfirmed rumor that the next Call of Duty
game will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which will be set in the modern
era. Marcus is a reviewer/editor for Nintendo websites, and
MP1ST credits him for previously for correctly providing scoops on both Dark
Souls and Labo coming to the Nintendo Switch. He does not, however, offer any
indication of where his rumor originates. Here's word:

COD 2018 is Black
Ops 4 and is coming to PS4/Xbox/PC/Switch. It is set in the modern times and is
boots on the ground. The Switch version will support DLC, HD Rumble and motion
controls. The Switch version is also being ported by a company which is familar
with COD games.

None of this comes anywhere close to the outrageous practices that are rampant in the mobile gaming sector though.

I know I'm a huge DICE fanboi, but I really don't see how them:

A) being able to earn everything through normal progression in a reasonable timeline.

B) letting those who would pay $$$ for loot boxes bankroll all DLC for all players.

C) Making sure that there isn't one starcard that affects base trooper health or weapon damage.

is at all deserving of this "worst in class" shit.

I've been playing the South Park: Phone Destroyer mobile game, and GODDAMN that game is a fucking money sink. Which is hilarious because South Park actuall made an episode of their show ripping shady mobile gaming practises. And Phone Destroyer is nowhere near the worst of the worst, and in that game you need to keep spending money to get the normal grind worth of loot from playing the game, if you don't spend money, you get about 1/3rd of what you actually earn at the end of each round. You might have actually earned a SUPER LEGENDARY RARE card, but you'll never know it if you don't pay $$$ to flip over spots like a bingo card at the end of the round.

The ONLY way to get the best guns in the game that gave you a SIGNIFICANT advantage in multiplayer was to get them through special loot crates. You had a random chance to earn one at the end of a round, but I played that game for about 150 hours and got exactly ZERO of them. I was not alone according to player reports. I bought the DLC and was awarded one of these crates, that had a gun that killed about 50% faster than anything earnable through normal progression.

I had the option of paying like $80 to get more chances to get these special gun crates.

Having game-progression tied to paid loot crates is divisive enough, but AT LEAST you'd think that it would be possible to get the same gear by just playing the game. 150 hours and zilch.

Fuck that.

Not being much of a CoD player (when I do play them it's in single player only) I wasn't aware of just how sleazy it was done in this game. It seems that Overwatch brought loot boxes into the mainstream awareness and companies like EA, 2K, and Warner Bros sleazed it up to epic levels. I never thought the day would come when I'd actually be hoping for government intervention into the gaming industry but these sleazefuck companies will happily keep pushing this predatory, exploitative shit into their games until they are made to stop by law. Fuck these soulless, shameless, greedy fucksticks who brought us to this point. And a special FUCK YOU to Valve for thinking their hands are clean in all this because they are just far enough removed from the equation that led to situations like Trevor Martin and those Syndicate fucktwins whose lies and deception have exploited millions out of the gullible and the addicted through their sleazy CS:GO skin gambling sites.

I just wish they would try once to do big map Multiplayer w/ vehicles & try to compete w/ BF . It would make things more interesting than the last 12 years of COD postage stamp maps in MP ,.. see if they could pull out actual 'warfare' on a grand scale , like Dice... and push Dice to step up their game .
